Just trying out the LiveDVD 10.1 (from a USB stick) and its working fine.

Saved me from M$-Windoze hell in a new job whilst waiting for my desktop to arrive!

I don't see the point of this 2.6G LiveCD if there is not installer, if I have to install it from command line why would I need this livecd I can do it using any of gentoo cd's, using current stage

So ?? where is installer ??

Any way 10.1 worked fine on my Lenovo T61p.

In fact installing the LiveDVD to a USB stick and carrying that round to boot from when you're at a computer that you can't install to is the ideal tool IMO and wouldn't ever require an installer as its not designed for that.

I know it's a small gesture for all the work you guys put into the Gentoo distro, but i wanted to pay my deep respects to all of you. I have been using Gentoo ever since 2003 and it is without a doubt my distro of choice for almost all situations. I've used it on workstations, media centers, embedded systems, industry-grade computers and, if i remember correctly, i had it booting on a mobile phone once too.

Gentoo fits almost any situation because of its immense scalability and tailored nature. I simple love it! And i love you guys for making it! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the fine compliment.

Can use the livedvd to install system to hdd without network?

Yes it can be installed to a hard drive with a little effort. Checkout the FAQ page for instructions.

Just interesting: how many millions tons of CO2 produced for the 10 years by the compilation on millions computers?

I went to the local tip a few weeks back and disposed of two boxed versions of Suse which lived on my computer before I changed to Gentoo (via Slackware which I downloaded when I first connected to Broadband!). CO2 comparisons are not always as straight forward as they seem, when you consider how many boxed sets of different distributions are created, distributed and then not bought (because they have been superceded), but disposed of.

Gentoo has been (and continues to be) a revelation - I have not had to reinstall since 2004, I can run all the software I want, either as stable or unstable version and I can tune the system to suit my needs. Previously I have run into dependency hell when installing some new package which wasn't yet included in the release set from Suse, and Slackware, leading ultimately to the need to reinstall fresh to get out of the problem.

So, Happy Birthday Gentoo, and thanks to all the developers past and present for their efforts and achievements. May Gentoo live to see many more birthdays!

In fact me too, my original Gentoo installation is april 2005 and I'm still running on it

It would still be going today, had I not upgraded to an amd64 box last year._________________If ~amd64 ebuilds are cutting edge, then git-9999 ebuilds are chainsaws.

I've only just replaced my first Gentoo install from 2002, and would have migrated the old OS, but figured it was easier (but not impossible) to install from fresh as I was stepping up from x86 to x86_64._________________"Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer.

Hello, is there a way to buy LiveDVDs of our preferred loved distro?
